July Journals with Eileen Hull – Be A Mermaid

Have you been keeping an eye on Eileen Hull's blog this month?? She's been featuring the uber popular Journal Die from her Heartfelt Collection all month long. My teammates have been creating some fabulous journals! Mine is ocean/mermaid themed. I packed it full of a lot of stuff! My craft room looked like a disaster zone. Get comfy because there are many many photos to share. ;-)

I mainly used Distress Oxide Inks and Stencil Girl stencils to decorate the cover

The binding was done with sari silk

Detail of the charms on the spine

Journal back

Here's a little flip through of the inside and if you are really interested, scroll on for all the photos of the pages.

Commence interior shots!

Inside cover & first signature

Many of the backgrounds were created with Distress Oxide Inks

The center of the first signature features a pop up house made from the House/Pocket Die

Fold out flap for fun!

The mermaid clip was made by my friend Tonya Trantham

These backgrounds were made with Ken Oliver Color Bloom pigments on watercolor paper

The first few lines from the fairy tale The Little Mermaid are written on the tail.

The mermaid doll was made by my friend Brandy Boyias & it fits in its little pocket

This book is a MASTERPIECE Lisa! Every page is just spectacular and thanks for showing us the flip through (I knew you would figure it out :-)) That pop up house is one of my favorites, but so it the tail. So so cool!

this book is mesmerizing what a lovely piece of artwork thank you for sharing i have a lot of questions but will just ask one....where did you get the mermaid for the front of the book? and the tail page.....awesome
